"Stand Tall"

"Stand Tall"



Stand stand tall stand tall, go get yours because you deserve it
Stand stand tall stand tall, good people know they’ve got to earn it
Stand stand tall stand tall, and all the children got to learn it…because you deserve it

If you stand tall you don’t have to worry
If your hands are small be sure to hit em heavy
If you’re down and out money got you buried
Put your hands up high heaven’s open early

Stand stand tall stand tall, go get yours because you deserve it
Stand stand tall stand tall, good people know they’ve got to earn it
Stand stand tall stand tall, and all the children got to learn it…because you deserve it

If your family life is saddled with a burden
If your lover’s out and you don’t deserve it
Now you’re finding out nothings ever perfect
If your standing tall you still got a purpose

Stand stand tall stand tall, go get yours because you deserve it
Stand stand tall stand tall, good people know they’ve got to earn it
Stand stand tall stand tall, and all the children got to learn it…because you deserve it

"Still"

"Still"



Don't try to make me what I don't wanna be
This is my life and I will do what I please
You say my fate is hopeless,
You say I have no focus

The more I suffocate the more I can see
My bedroom walls are closing on me
As my life passes before me
I know I am living but this life ain't for me

And I still forever wanna get away
And I will show you that you are wrong
And I still believe there's another way
And I will show you that you are wrong
You know that I will

You come to me with all your visions of hope
You say I let you down so leave me alone
You got your hands on my neck
My strength is more than you expect
The more I suffocate the more I am free

The more I suffocate the more I can see
My bedroom walls are closing on me
As my life passes before me
I know I am living but this life ain't for me

And I still forever wanna get away
And I will show you that you are wrong
And I still believe there's another way
And I will show you that you are wrong
You know that I will

"Stop Me"

"Stop Me"



It's too late this time, this I know
I gave all myself up to her
Now I should start again and shut the door
But I don't know myself anymore

I don't know where I am
Don't know where I'm going

I just need somebody to stop me
Cuz I feel like I'm losing control
You're haunting me
Everywhere I go you're in my head, and you're in my heart
I can't get away, even when I'm dreaming

I'm gonna drive all night, aint gonna sleep
Clear my head for a while, maybe I'll see
Where I went all wrong, turn up some dust
It seemed so easy for me when I was three
(That was long ago, now he doesn't know, heaven hell or reason)

I just need somebody to stop me
Cuz I feel like I'm losing control
You're haunting me
Everywhere I go you're in my head, and you're in my heart
I can't get away, even when I'm dreaming

Tell me where I am, tell me where I was
Tell me where I'm going too

I just need somebody to stop me
Cuz I feel like I'm losing control
You're haunting me
Everywhere I go you're in my head, and you're in my heart
I can't get away, even when I'm dreaming

"Strength"

"Strength"



I came to live here, I came to find some
This place was hopeful, this place was my home
Somewhere I fell short from where I started
I needed so much more to believe in

You saw me reachin', somebody fallin'
And gave me so much more to believe in

You lift me up, there's too much pride to let go
You came and rescued my soul, you give me
strength to go on livin'

I woke inside of a room with no one
What I thought was livin', was really dying
My arms were tired and faith was broken
But you gave me so much more to believe in

You lift me up, there's too much pride to let go
You came and rescued my soul, you give me
strength to go on livin'

How many people are far gone,
how many people are too strong
I don't know anything, I'm losin' my head
to this world
You are my soldier of fortune

I froated face down in my own torture
And then came so much more to believe in

You lift me up, there's too much pride to let go
You came and rescued my soul,
This is the face of my own
And there's too much pride to let go,
You came and rescued my soul
And there's too much pride to let go, you give me
strength to go on livin'
To go on livin'...

"Such A Shame"

"Such A Shame"



I can hear you cryin' hear you cryin' yea it
Echoes in my head
I can see you dying see you dying and your
Walking with the dead
All the lies all the lies all the lies that you live
truth is the truth that you can't admit

Day in and day out you put in on me
Oh you gotta figure out who you wanna be

its such a shame, such a shame, such a shame
but you do it to yourself it's the things you do
its such a shame, such a shame, such a shame
but its you nobody else and you know is true

I can feel you hurting feel you hurting
But its deeper than my pain
I can see you're worried yeah you're worried
It will never be the same
All the night all the night all the night
Spent aware
Days all the days all the days spent under covers

All you ever wanted was a moment of free
You gotta figure out who you wanna be
All you ever wanted was a moment of free
Now your a prisoner and there's no key
You gotta figure out who wanna be

"Take Flight Gundam"

"Take Flight Gundam"



Gotta fly away, gotta fly away, gotta fly away, gotta fly away
Take me home!

Fly away on my own
I don't know where I'm gone
Living in the shadow of my own
Cause the war I'm fighting is all for you
You know it's true
Take fly, Gundam!

Gotta fly away, gotta fly away, gotta fly away, gotta fly away
Take me home, take me home

I'm trying to make my way
I guess I'll die another day
Cause in the world I live in, I belong

Cause the war I'm fighting is all for you
You know it's true
Take fly, Gundam!

Gotta fly away, gotta fly away, gotta fly away, gotta fly away
Take me home, take me home

"Tell Me That It's Easy"

"Tell Me That It's Easy"



I don't understand it
I just can't understand it
And I feel crazy

I know one way or another
I've got to try to find
A reason to motivate myself

Oh I don't know where I lost the way
Oh maybe in time I'll remember what you say

Help me with the path I fall away from
Won't somebody tell me

How long, 'till I get to where I want
Just tell me that it's easy
How long, 'till I get to where I was
Tell me that it's easy

From the lightningand the thunder
There's a spell it that put me under
It change me

I was clear and I was fast
And I was so far from the past
But now I'm falling back again

I get so tired
I wanna be strong again
I need somebody to lift me up
So that I can see

Oh tell me what?
Tell that I got a chance
Tell time gotta go there
I gotta go fast

Oh tell me
How long, 'till I get to where I want
Just tell me that it's easy
How long, 'till I get to where I was
Tell me that it's easy
How long, 'till we can live with who we are
You know it isn't easy

How long, 'till I get to where I want
Just tell me that it's easy
How long, 'till I get to where I was
Tell me that it's easy
How long, 'till we can live with who we are
You know it isn't easy

"Testify"



Love...Love is the one thing we all need more of, so be loved
Trust...Trust is what keeps a true love together, we need trust
Time...Time is what heals the trust that we break, give it time
Trust...Trust that in time we will find the one kind of love that unifies

When in your life the walls are fallin' on you
Then is the time to testify
Follow the light let all of it surround you
Love will testify

Faith...Faith in the things that you want out of life
"don't lose faith"
Hope...Hope for the ones who are in need of faith, there is hope
Truth...Truth in the things that are real and promises made through life

When in your life the walls are fallin' on you
Then is the time to testify
Follow the light let all of it surround you
Love will testify

When in your life the walls are fallin' on you
Then is the time to testify
Follow the light let all of it surround you
Love will testify...

"The Beginning"

"The Beginning"



Am I talking to myself?
Is there anybody listening?
If I asked you for your help
Would you be there like the way I was?

Did you think I live for you?
Do you think I breath and live for you?
Can you tell me what I'm finally fighting for?
I don't see the reason anymore

And I feel like I'm falling, caught in a spell
And it feels like the only way is down
I can't tell if I've been losing touch
Or if I know myself
Tell me how do I get back to the beginning

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Am I talking to myself?
All the words I'm hearing meant for me
Am I lost inside the world?
Where the choices have been made for me

And I'm finding that I'm fighting with myself
Yeah, I'm finding that I'm fighting with myself
And I feel like I'm falling, caught in a spell
And I feel it like the only way is down
I don't know if I've been losing touch
Or if I lost myself
Tell me how do I get back to the beginning
Tell me how do I get back to the beginning
Tell me how do I get back to the beginning

"The Bitter End"

"The Bitter End"



Purple feathers fall from the core of a handmade boa
That dries her tears
Precious stones in a box
radiate the sky reflecting her fear
you want something real
you don't know when you got it
Emotionally fierce you want love
but you fight it till the bitter end

Wading in a river
fishing out pieces of his heart she shattered
falling from a blue crest
realizings too late this place is shallow

Past around the cast high cared for then denied
our two different people
The music box she carries the camouflage he wears
is soon to be buried

You want something real
you don't know when you got it
all grory no feel you want love but you fight it
till the bitter end till the bitter end
Camouflage

Livin on a pipe dream tryin to make the right scene
Reachin for a brass ring without life in your hand
Talkin through the motions criticize devotion
Breakin out the door and never findin the kye

Pacifier motion void of all emotion
fallin out fallin down and over again
take association over dedication
How far can you go without takin a step

you want and you want and you kill yourself to get
you die and you die and you ain't seen nothin yet
you hide and you hide just to stay above the crest
you're a fake, a lie...now try and camouflage that

Like a changing season adapt to fit the reason
integrity whats it means to you it's a lie
hold out till you see it then you try and be it
you're lost, a fool...what can I say

you want and you want and you kill yourself to get
you die and you die and you ain't seen nothin yet
you hide and you hide just to stay above the crest
you lie and you live but it's all the same

you're fake, you are nowhere ...
now try and camoflage that
